Serological surveillance of Leucocytozoon spp. in Taiwan. [PDF]
Poult SciChicken Leucocytozoonosis is a protozoan disease that affects the blood and tissues of chickens. High summer temperatures create optimal conditions for reproducing biting midges, the primary vectors for transmitting Leucocytozoon to chickens. In Taiwan, a subtropical region, the disease remains prevalent throughout the year, except in winter, leading ...

Spatial Distribution and Host-Specific Patterns of Avian Haemosporidian Infections in a Semi-Arid Region of Northeastern Iran. [PDF]
Vet Med SciA survey of 263 birds across 10 species in Semnan Province, Iran, revealed a 22.1% prevalence of avian haemosporidian infections, dominated by Haemoproteus spp. Pigeons showed significantly higher infection risk. Spatial analysis identified clustering in Shahroud County, suggesting local climatic and ecological conditions influence parasite ...

Prevalence of Avian Haemosporidian Parasites: A Comparative Study between Resident and Migratory Birds of Iraq [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2023 Haemosporidians are a diverse group of vector-borne parasitic protozoa that have a global distribution and some of them live in the avian body as a benign parasite, with no symptoms.

Use of Contaminated Habitat and Associated Selenium Uptake Mediate Haemosporidian Parasite Infections in Wild Passerine Birds. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.
